AMENDMENTS
 
1. Amendments to the Subscription Agreement.
 
1.1 Elimination of Certain Contractual Limitations. Upon the expiration of the Restriction Period (as defined in Section 4(o) of the Subscription Agreement), none of the Amended Warrant Price Shares (as defined in Section 1.3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement) shall remain subject to any of the time-based contractual limitations contained in such Section, i.e., the Holders’ covenants therein not to sell, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise derive economic value therefrom, and the issuance thereof during the Amendment Effective Period shall not increase the number of Shares and Warrant Shares (as defined in the recitals to the Subscription Agreement) subject to the five percent limitations set forth therein.
 
1.2 Waiver of Certain Anti-dilution Protections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Subscription Agreement, none of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment, including the issuance of any of the Amended Warrant Price Shares during the Amendment Effective Period or shares of the Company’s common stock to Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC, or any of its affiliates, in connection with the execution of this Amendment or the issuance of any of the Amended Warrant Price Shares during the Amendment Effective Period, shall result in the imposition of any of the anti-dilution protections in favor of the Holder contained in the Subscription Agreement.
 
1.3 Waiver of Certain Offering Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Subscription Agreement, none of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment, including, but not limited to, the issuance of any of the Amended Warrant Price Shares during the Amendment Effective Period or shares of the Company’s common stock to Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC, or any of its affiliates, in connection with the execution of this Amendment or the issuance of any of the Amended Warrant Price Shares during the Amendment Effective Period or the filing of any registration statement in respect of any of the Shares, shall be deemed to be a violation of any of the offering or other restrictions imposed upon, or granted by, the Company and in favor of the Holder contained in the Subscription Agreement.
 
2. Amendment to 2007 Warrant.
 
2.1 Limitations. Effective solely for any exercise by Holder of up to fifty (50%) of the 2007 Covered Shares (collectively, the “Amended Warrant Price Shares”) occurring during the Amendment Effective Period, the “Warrant Price” specified in Section 9 of the 2007 Warrant shall be $1.25 per share of such 2007 Covered Shares. With respect to any Amended Warrant Price Shares that are not purchased through the exercise of the 2007 Warrant during the Amendment Effective Period, immediately upon the expiration thereof and without any further act of the Parties, the 2007 Original Warrant Price shall be reinstated to such unpurchased Amended Warrant Price Shares and thereafter shall apply to all unpurchased 2007 Covered Shares and this Amendment shall be of no further force and effect. The Company hereby represents that, concurrently with the delivery of this Amendment to Holder, it is delivering to each of the Other Warrant Holders an amendment to its respective outstanding 2007 Warrant for its consideration and acceptance, which amendment is identical to this Amendment in form and substance. Accordingly, the Parties agree that any exercise of the Warrants held by the Other Warrant Holders at the prices contained herein shall not be deemed to trigger, or give rise to the triggering of, any anti-dilution protection contained in the Warrants. The holder of the Amended Warrant Price Shares, New Warrant, and Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrant is granted all of the rights and benefits granted pursuant to the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) to the holder of Warrants and Warrant Shares (as defined in the Subscription Agreement).
 
2.2 Waiver of Certain Anti-dilution Protections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the 2007 Warrants, none of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment, including the issuance of any of the Amended Warrant Price Shares during the Amendment Effective Period or shares of the Company’s common stock to Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC, or any of its affiliates, in connection with the execution of this Amendment or the issuance of any of the Amended Warrant Price Shares during the Amendment Effective Period, shall result in the imposition of any of the anti-dilution protections in favor of the Holder contained in the 2007 Warrants.

3. Registration Rights. In connection with this Amendment, the Company has agreed to grant to Holder, and to each of the Other 2007 Warrant Holders who shall have signed an amendment to their respective Subscription Agreements and 2007 Warrants in form and content substantially similar to this Amendment, certain registration rights, as more specifically set forth in the form of Registration Rights Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B.
